The construction has continued on this ambitious timber frame luxury residence, as you can see in these latest photos. The front entry- porte-cochere is coming along nicely.

On this mountain house, we provided the timber frame design, luxury home architecture, post and beam design, and conventional stick frame architecture. This is a timber frame design dream come true for the newlywed homeowners, on one of the very best sites in the entire Highlands Cove community, and to our knowledge, the highest. The views are breathtaking, going all the way into South Carolina on a clear day.

This mountain house with the timber frame design is part of a long labor of love. The Rand Soellner Architect Mountain Retreat Series is the latest and best there is, the culmination of 3 years of intensive research & development and design refinements, including the timber frame design. Incorporated here are the best Kitchen, the most spacious Hearth Room (main living area), Panoramic View Dining (directly on the big view, more scenic than the best 4-star restaurant you

have ever visited!), the best master closets, the best Master Mountain Spa Bathroom (you have never seen a bathroom like this!), the best Master Bedroom, a Sleeping Porch off the Master Suite, an Outdoor Living Room, complete with massive fireplace, outdoor spa with hot tub, personal Office for 2 with partners’ desk, Sewing/Laundry room, spacious garage, accommodating guest suites with their own dedicated bathrooms, mountain house powder room (the vanity counter is an 18″ thick timber beam that spans from one wall to the other!), Upstairs Loft and additional guest room and Bunk Room for the visiting kiddies (also with their own bathroom), and family Gym. Wow!
Believe it or not, you are looking at the side of a garage. Soellner designed the side elevation to be enhanced with the Playroom- Home Gym over the garage, and the stone lower architectural treatment below that. It is with design skills like this that something that would have otherwise have been commonplace becomes elevated into the realm of quality home architecture.
We have added some more recent photos here, as compared with the previous earlier construction shots.
Nationwide Architects Provided Timber Frame Design in Highlands Cove on this Mountain House
We’ll come back to this timber frame design and this mountain house from time to time to update the photos as the builder makes progress. Post and beam architects selected exterior materials with lots of native rock on towers, random board and batten and sawmill wall siding, cedar wall shingles, and faux slate roofing tiles.

Timber Frame Architects Creating Mountain House Designs
Blue Ridge Mountains of Highlands, NC and Highlands Cove (Old Edwards Club)
Rand Soellner’s trademark timber frame design roof trusses can be seen in some of these construction photos, illustrating a glimpse of how dramatic the interiors will be, when complete. Rand Soellner’s Value Engineering is at work here, as he used conventional stud walls and standard roof trusses for the majority of the project, using accent timbers where they will be most visible. This results in a house about $45/sf Less costly than a total timber frame design. This project is about 5,700 heated square feet, so that’s a huge savings.
Rand Soellner’s firm functioned as timber frame architects on this project and mountain house architects. The general contractor happened to have its own timber frame shop in-house for the project and the contractor and the architect have worked together before on various projects in the area.
